Intrpduction : Maglev systems are becoming a popular application around the globe. Maglev trains are popular in transportation stations in big countries like Germany, China, Japan and the United States of America due to the demand for high-speed transportation, as the general public transportation services become more congested with increase of population. Maglev trains are magnetically levitated trains that traverse in a very high speed, with only electricity being its main source of energy

True Submit Hide Solution Standard Exercise The Speeding Car Standard Exercise Heating a Metal Strip Solution: This question asks about the effect of gravity on the equilibrium position of a spring. Remember that the effect of a gravitational force is to stretch the spring an amount Δx = mg/k. This stretch in the spring represents an offset in the natural (horizontal) equilibrium position of the spring. While the question is strangely worded, the answer is true, the change in position

THE UNIVERSE When we look up in the night sky we can see the stars and the moon. And because it is natural to be curious, we ask questions and we want answers. When our view was limited by what our eyes could see, the sky was our Universe. Then the telescopes deepened our view, photography enhanced it, and spectroscopy broadened it. The universe grew from a sky of stars to a realm of galaxies, to an expanding universe of galaxies. Many people believe that nature, the sun and moon, the star,

Physics Unit 1 Revision (higher tier) Energy There are 9 different forms of energy: Light Heat Chemical Kinetic (movement) Electrical Elastic (Gravitational) potential Nuclear Sound Energy is never created or destroyed! Energy is transferred from one form to another form. Not all of the energy transferred by a device is useful energy. Potential energy is stored energy. All energy will eventually spread out to the surroundings as heat. Sample question 1 Sankey diagrams
